Thanks to everyone who participated in our Food Drive....

We were able to donate over 600 pounds of food to Creston Elementary School who provide food for a food pantry that helps out the various families on the East Side.

We're gonna do it again next year! Again thank you everyone!

Enterprise Season 5 Refit!

Okay. Star Trek: Enterprise. Like, love, or hate it, the show had its good points and some not so good points (the last episode comes to mind...). However, one of my favorite points of the franchise has always been the ship design and, to that end, I just came across Doug Drexler's planned refit for Captain Archer's NX-01 Enterprise. I don't know if this was actually planned for the show (had it continued) or only for the up-coming Ships of the Line 2011 calendar but the word "cool", in my… Continue

24 Hour Comics Update - The Home Stretch!

With just over an hour to go, we have already beaten last year's finishing numbers. We've had three people finish with two more close at hand.

At this time, I'd like to take a moment to thank those who sponsored this event. First, I'd like to thank Pete at the Castleton Store for giving us a space to this again this year and for providing technical, logistical, and nutritional support!

I'd like to thank Matt at the Outback Steakhouse, Castleton…

24 Hour Comics Update

Its 8AM and we already have one person to have finished their comic! Sadly, we also had one person drop out. That brings our head count down to 12, BUT the survivors are still working diligently. I have to say that I am really impressed with the amount of work completed at this point as well as the number of people who have stuck with it this far. I can say with little exaggeration that this is not an easy task and I commend everyone who has shown up to test their mettle. Stay tuned - more to… Continue

24 Hour Comics Update

Well, its 4AM and everyone is still going strong. We've got a lot of great work, so far and I can't wait to post it. The group is still holding at 14, although everyone is starting to get a little loopy! For example, someone was just christened "Bat-Spork" (don't ask...). Another update update to come so stay tuned!
